Hi Everyone, need some advice. The only reason why I took my current role is because my direct supervisor would be a black woman VP- I was obviously excited because I've never worked with another black woman before. She's been out on maternity leave since September and I've had to cover her role and do my job, which is two levels above mine and supervising someone above my level. Yesterday the SVP tells me they found a new VP (ww) who would be my new boss.

My black boss would be put on another account when she's back from maternity leave. I feel slighted by this because 5 mins after the SVP told me this IT was communicated to the entire team. Asking around the new VP seems very difficult to work with and comes from an agency where I know the VPs are hella racist. I'm thinking of giving her a week before updating my resume or should I wait till my black boss comes back?

That’s a bummer about the change in boss. Don’t wait around till your old boss comes back- start looking for a new job now. Also you were doing your boss’s job while she was out, sounds like you should be applying for that job somewhere else.

Curious what you think your boss will be able to help you with when she returns? Sounds like she's got her own issues to work out being transferred while on Pat leave. Do you want to stay and see if you can work with your new boss? If so, give it a little time. If not working for your boss is a deal-breaker bounce.

Just got through my first interview with EY for an experienced associate position in FDD. Throughout the interview process, they mentioned nothing about a case study. But now I need to take one this Friday. I’m not saying I care, I’m just not experienced with case studies in interviews. I never had one for audit, I never had one for consulting positions, but I need one for FDD. I’m not at ALL prepared for this case nor will my performance be a reflection of my potential. No idea what to do.
